Leilo is one of those places where you immediately feel the intention behind everything. The space is clean and minimal, but still warm, understated, and quietly inviting, like a pause built into your day. But the real standout is the coffee. Absolutely delicious. Smooth, balanced, and thoughtfully crafted. You can taste the care in every sip. It's the kind of coffee that doesn't demand attention, but holds it anyway. A place to slow down, settle in, and let a moment stretch just a little longer. read more

This newish coffee shop is cute and has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the service was enough that we won't be back. When we walked in, the barista seemed completely uninterested in greeting or helping customers. I asked a few questions about the coffee and snacks, hoping to get a better sense of the menu, but each interaction felt more dismissive and unfriendly than the last. I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt, but the attitude never improved. It's disappointing because the space itself is charming and feels like it could be a great neighborhood spot. With better customer service, we'd gladly return. For now, there are plenty of other coffee shops that make customers feel welcome. read more

They do not accept cash payments here. Prices are average ($6-$8) for coffee. I tried their latte and the Elderflower Orange Velvet. The latte was well-balanced. The Elderflower Orange Velvet, as aesthetically pleasing, fell short. The coffee was too acidic for me. Customer service was top notch. read more

First time at Leilo Culver City and I loved the vibe. The space has a warm, terracotta, New Mexico-inspired aesthetic that feels really thoughtfully designed. I ordered the Brazilian matcha lemonade with condensed milk (half sweet) and it was delicious refreshing with just the right balance. The staff suggested half sweet for me since I said I wanted a balance, and half sweet was perfect. 5/5 It's a great alternative to being right in downtown Culver City, where parking can be tougher. The interior is small and cozy, but there's shaded outdoor seating that makes it easy to linger. Perfect spot to bring a book or catch up with a friend. read more

I'm not usually in Culver City but if I'm ever back I'll definitely stop by again. This little shop is in the corner of a neighborhood entrance. Very quiet and clean and cute! You can definitely find street parking with only a short walk to the shop. The vibes were amazing. I went early and was there for a bit so I saw it go from only a few people to lines outside the store. They have both indoor and outdoor seating so you have options. Looks like there is also a bathroom available inside. The workers were super attentive and welcoming. The music was 10/10. Now, the coffee. Their iced cappuccino comes in small cup but it's honestly perfect for me. They have the classics and their own specialities. I really enjoyed the drink I got and the pastry was SO good. Paid $12 for both which I found pretty fair. Definitely recommend stopping by :) read more

Adorable little coffee shop in Culver City with lots of seating inside and out, I went early afternoon and it wasn't too crowded. I got the strawberry matcha latte with almond milk which is on the more expensive side but is a decent size. The strawberry tasted so fresh, just a little difficult to stir into the matcha but still delicious. Would totally come back here and sit on their patio! read more

Creative, cute, convenient coffee! My "4C's". Easy free street parking, a few tables, the barista bros are cool. They have some creative ideas, the carrot cake latte is good, but I didn't sense any "carrot ". Orange velvet has a nice foam texture, but while I've had better "orange lattes" this was fine. I prefer a more espresso with orange zest based orange latte. Lots of fancy coffee beans to purchase and I really like the vibe here. read more

This review is purely based on their matcha. I think their matcha is above average for west side standards, but below average in comparison to ktown matcha spots. I loved the hint of Jasmine flavor on their Matcha Snow, but the matcha itself was a bit grainy and grassy in my opinion. Extra points for ambiance and because the baristas were so kind and amazing. read more

Leilo Coffee is a very nice neighborhood spot very close to Culver Blvd and Overland. There really isn't much else there around it. Unfortunately there's not a lot of parking which can be a problem. We tried to go early one day and it was packed. When we couldn't find a place to park we decided it just wasn't our day. Ended up coming back later on a Sunday afternoon when the line was gone. It looks nice on the inside, on the modern side but not so minimalist as a Blue Bottle. The colors were well chosen. There is a fair amount of seating with small round metal tables inside. Outside it was very comfortable with nice tables and chairs. It was very shady on the East side in the afternoon, actually quite pleasant. The latte I had was respectable. The pastries we had were very solid also (cardamon bun and butter croissant). While I might not consider it one of my top coffee "destinations", Leilo is definitely worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

Small cute coffee shop in Culver City! The location is rather small with few seats inside, however there is plenty of seating to use outdoors so it's a great way to maximize their space. Staff was friendly and welcoming and super helpful with choices for first timers. I stopped by because I was attending a pop up and had the luxury of trying the carrot cake latte. It was sweet rich and delicious and definitely taste like a carrot cake in a cup with a shot of espresso! It was the perfect mix of a sweet treat and a coffee it was a perfect balance. It comes with a cream cheese foam but I ordered a "mara blue spirulina" top instead. I'll definitely be returning to order this again and try other items on the menu! read more

Amazing little coffee shop! The service was excellent, we got recommended a different drink each based on what we told them and they all exceeded expectations. We got the carrot cake latte which was very unique. The cream cheese foam and biscoff bits were a great addition. The carrot cake taste is not that evident but the pairing is good. The matcha snow was also delicious. I got a coconut foam edition they had and it made my matcha have a lovely texture and a great coconut flavor. We also got the strawberry matcha and the strawberry flavor was one of the better ones I've tasted. It's not too artificial and the texture is velvety and smooth. The store is also really cute and has some indoor seating as well as some outdoor tables. read more

Super cool spot with very friendly staff. The place was hopping both days I visited--and I came two days in a row because I loved it. It's a corner café in a quiet neighborhood, and you can tell it's a local favorite; everyone seemed to know everyone. The first day I had an iced latte with oat milk and honey--super good, very creamy, with just the right amount of honey. The next day I tried the drip coffee, which was excellent as well. My only minor complaint was that refills cost extra. I totally understand, I was just hoping for a free refill since many places offer that--but it didn't take away from the experience. If you're looking for a friendly, relaxed place to sit down and enjoy a great cup of coffee, I highly recommend this spot. Coach "aka the coffee guy" Berokoff read more

Newly opened cafe that's a great addition to the neighborhood. Coffee drinks are solid (my friend swears by their cortado) & there's a decent amount of indoor & outdoor seating. The strawberry matcha & iced matcha with cold foam were both decent, but would expect more matcha for the price point. I also tried their iced hojicha latte with cold foam & it did not taste nor look like there was an acceptable amount of hojicha powder--would not recommend that particular drink. Ample free & easy street parking. read more

Stopped by Leilo Coffee in Culver City and loved their aesthetic! The place has such a warm, welcoming vibe. The coffee is delicious, even though I only go for a basic iced latte with whole milk and no sweetener, you can still taste good quality coffee, where its not overpowered by a lot of milk. The staff is kind and attentive and the shop is clean, cozy, and the perfect spot to relax, work, or grab something quick on the go. read more

Leilo is definitely busy on a Saturday morning but the shop is modern and they have outdoor seating to enjoy your drinks as well! We keep coming back for the same drink: carrot cake latte served hot!

Soft opening recently, estimated mid December launch. Most of the coffee drinks are available, and they were great. No food available yet, no pour overs or drip coffees available yet. Metered street parking, free on the weekend. Would return to see what changes read more

Still in their soft opening period, the cafe only opens until 2pm in the afternoon and offers limited options of drinks and nibbles. I visited quite late and they did say that most pastries were out early in the day so what's displayed wasn't the full selections. The terracota-colored venue somewhat gave bit of BOHO touch but it's very iconic. Plenty of seats available if I took into account the outdoor area by the curbside, but each of the table pretty much accomodated 2 people max. I went for their signature Hot Maple Cinnamon Cappuccino, served in 8oz size. The iced one would be slightly bigger at 10oz. It was pretty strong, and prolly not suited my preference best as it's more on the acidic note. I did like the sweet maple flavor blended with cinnamon powder on top. Would probably give another go with their matcha next time. read more

I was so excited that a new neighborhood coffee shop had opened in a more sleepy, suburban part of Culver City, and I decided to stop by this morning to check out their soft opening and get a cup of joe this morning before Pilates. While I theoretically love the concept- a minimalistic, aesthetic space with artisan crafted matcha and coffee drinks, I felt like the quality of their drinks and speed of service still needs some work. I arrived at 10:20 to a small line, but it took until 10:40 to get to the front of the line and 10:50 to get my drink. I understand that a) this isn't Starbucks and b) it's their soft opening and they're still sorting out kinks especially with a busy weekend morning rush, but the efficiency felt limited due to the fact that there was only one cashier, who often had to step away since he was also hand mixing the matcha, pouring the latte art, and adding the finishing touches to the drinks. I felt like these tasks could have been delegated to the 4 other employees all jammed behind the small coffee bar, while the cashier focused on taking orders to prevent a line build up at the door. Onto the drinks - I ordered a regular latte with their special seasonal espresso, and to say I was disappointed is an understatement, especially considering how expensive and nice their espresso machine is. With add-ons like oat milk, the seasonal espresso, and vanilla syrup, my drink came out to $8 for a small cup. The espresso itself was not flavorful and even almost bitter, and the latte was so muted that it tasted almost like a flat white. The cafe itself is beautiful, but the seating is a bit cramped especially with the line to order blocking one entrance, and both indoor and outdoor seating is a bit better for waiting/conversing than sitting down and doing work. I also think they need to add a sign to watch your step at their back entrance (near the bathroom), since there's a six inch drop from the cafe floor to the sidewalk outside that almost made me trip and drop my coffee. Overall, I see a lot of potential for this coffee shop, but I'd give them some time to sort out their operations and for the lines to die down before coming back again. read more

Came in early on a Tuesday morning and it wasn't too busy with lots of street parking available right out front. I ordered the strawberry matcha with almond milk. Their house made strawberry puree is delicious. Which makes me bummed to say their matcha was just okay. It was incredibly milk heavy where I barely could taste the matcha. I saw them hand whisking the matcha after I ordered, it's just unfortunate it was watered down essentially. I'm hoping it was an off day because I can see so much potential. I'll probably be back to give it another try! read more

The metal on clay aesthetic here is really memorable. They sell (and presumably serve) SEY Coffee. I got the shaken espresso, which was slightly floral and fruity. It leans on the more acidic end, but it was very refreshing! They use really good ice cubes that don't water the drink down at all. The shop is in a more peaceful part of Culver City and isn't too busy on its own. The tables are on the smaller end but you could definitely do work both inside and outside. I'm definitely coming back to try the maple cinnamon cappuccino and the food! read more

This is a tiny little coffee shop that packs a lot of deliciousness. I have only been there once and ordered the signature maple cinnamon cappuccino. It was absolutely scrumptious.

I came here today with my sister, my cousin, and his girlfriend for coffee. It was very busy around 2:30pm until closing. They have seating inside and outside. It is small, but it is very aesthetic and has great staff. I usually avoid sweet drinks, but I was told their maple cinnamon cappuccino is popular. I got that half-sweet, which I liked. It's the same owner as Malou in Brentwood. I definitely would come back and was even told they may extend their hours past 4:30pm. Great new spot with plenty of street parking! read more

This is a cute but small cafe! Went on a Sunday and all of the little tables were taken up by people on their laptops, so that was kind of annoying. There are a few tables outside, and those were taken as well. So don't except to stick around after you get your order. I ordered the carrot cake latte, and i would rate it a 4/5. I feel like it was missing a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for it to taste more like the actual cake. But a tasty latte nonetheless! Service was friendly and fast. I will be back to try more items! read more

I really enjoyed this new Culver spot! Parking really wasn't that bad, neighborhood street parking is pretty easy and there are meters if you don't want to deal with that. I went on a Tuesday morning, probably a slower time, and service didn't take long. I got the maple cappuccino and I was very satisfied with it! On the smaller side but that didn't bother me too much. Also, I don't really think about aesthetics much when I pick my favorite spots lol but the aesthetics are definitely notable! Good addition to Culver City, will be back. read more

I enjoyed my visit to Leilo coffee. One of my main main coffee places that I go to all the time is down the street so I kept forgetting to come check Leilo out. So I'm glad I finally did! I was working across the street at Sony, and in general in this area there is a high possibility of a place being pretentious and what have you but I didn't get any of that kind of vibe from Leilo. The staff was really nice, and the barista who made my coffee was very nice and it was very chill vibe in there. It wouldn't be a "come do work" type of place for me because it's very small inside, but they do have outdoor seating. But most importantly of course was the coffee was absolutely delicious. My barista absolutely knew what they were doing and my latte was smooth and delicious. So it's another spot to add to my list read more

Cozy neighborhood cafe with quality espresso drinks! A great standard bearer of the quality of a cafe is its Cortado. Leilo certainly did not disappoint. One of the baristas had a La Cabra ( New York) baseball cap on - I knew they must have done their homework!
